I’m having vicarious excitement for you as you plan this trip!

Yesterday I was reviewing some of my photos from my recent travels, and it made me want to pack up and head back out to Colorado and New Mexico, LOL.

It’s exciting, isn’t it? I love a good road trip. Maybe you can take a mini vacation, Janet.

Wow, loving all your pieces, such a cohesive colorway and looks all together!! Am also amazed of your skills doing this boards of including visualis of the outfits- I know you use Stylebook -are these done with a feature/tool included in it?

Lyn, I used screenshots from Stylebook and arranged everything in Pages, but you could do the same with Word. I’m very visual so I have to see it on “paper.”

How serious is your hiking going to be? If the hikes are going to be all-day, wilderness type excursions then light weight, packable, breathable, water-proof trousers and plenty of dry socks will add to the enjoyment of the event. A "soggy bottom" as a result of rain dripping off your waterproof wind breaker on to your lower half is rather miserable. And hard to dry out in a camper van. I speak from experience.

Thanks rejoiceandbe those are good points. We are usually fair weather hikers and don’t plan any long excursions but I will definitely bring lots of good socks and I won’t skimp on shoes because if one pair gets soaked I’ll need a replacement!
